    I'll be there with Mr.Ford, sadly I won't have a car there this year. Maybe I will get to act like a kid the whole time I'm there.

    Nick as always you will be missed, hope the Round Up is a great success!

    Still not sure on my status. I might risking driving the '71 that far with that alternator bolt held in only by locktite and hopes and dreams. If the bolt pulls out, I'm screwed though.

    My dad and I should be there on Thursday. We'll be flying in from St. Louis, and driving from there. Just wondering: could anyone please recommend a good rib/bbq restaurant in the greater St. Louis area? Thank you.

    You could drill it out and tap it with larger threads. :idea:
    Also, I saw that Fastenal sells "liquid threads". Not sure how well it works though.
